 Sorry for the confusion. I could swear I had seen it in the FAQ
 somewhere; because what I has seen and confused it with was the
 batch editor "sed".

 OK, I'll try rhino-hide.... with some trepidation, because it 
 is another big complicated package to learn in order to get

 My assembler programming colleague who is not on the 'net

 and he will end up with a big batch of new stuff and new
 manuals  to print and learn :-> Might as well send him
 the whole djgpp environment in one fell swoop!
